Youssef Ben Derbal, Protester, said, "People here are from all religions, from all ethnic
backgrounds. This solidarity condemns their criminal activity. Showing solidarity with the
Palestinians in no way means you are a terrorist."

In London, thousands of protesters wearing T-shirts with slogans such as "Free Gaza"
converged outside the prime minister's official residence at Downing Street.

One of the protesters was Kevin Ovenden, who was aboard an aid ship raided by Israel's navy
on Monday.

Gaza Aid Activist Kevin Ovenden said, "The world's attention is on what's happening and
crucially it needs to be on the reason for what's happening, which is the immoral, illegal and
inhuman siege on the people of Gaza."

The United States, Israel's main ally, has expressed more sympathy than most for its security
concerns. But groups there have stressed the need for Palestinians in Gaza to receive adequate
supplies and signaled that the embargo cannot continue in its current form.
